    favorite scale?

    Someone touched on this in today's roll call, but what bathroom scales do you guys/gals like best? Almost 2 weeks into induction and though I haven't lost any weight yet, I'm sure I will eventually, and I want to be able to measure it accurately as possible when I do.

    I've got a Tanita digital scale that measures body fat, have had it a long time, and I like it except for the fact that it only measures in half pound increments.

      Any scale that tells me I'm losing .

      I've got a Weight Watchers digital that measures in pounds and ounces, but I mostly watch the pound number and not the ounces...unless there's a lost in ounces and I'm dieing to see some change after a very long long long pause.

        If you get on a digital scale and then off and the right back on and then off and then right back on, will it show the same number every time?

        I mean, 'cause, my old scale shows something different every time. It might be up to a five pound swing.

          A digital scale should show the same reading each time. Maybe the batteries are low?

          I used to have a Tanita body fat scale and it was very good (and is still going strong - hubby now uses it) it only measured in half pound increments and so I decided to buy a weight watchers one. Am very happy with that.

            No batteries in my scale. It's an analog??????

              I'd say the springs have sprang if you got the dial type.

                  I also have the Tanita...never actually used the body fat measurement option. Works great...although I wish it did ounces too!
